(The traditional time to take a moment of remembrance on this day.)Facing the English Channel atop a bluff in northern France is this cemetery, (captured here on Google Maps) final resting place for 9,387 American servicemen who lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. To the right in the semicircular garden are the Walls of the Missing, on which are inscribed another 1,557 names.

An uncle of mine went to Vietnam and never returned. All that is left is the memories of people in my family and a name etched in stone. Then I get asked why I'm not fond of wars. As if I needed a big reason for it.
